50TH Anniversary... Right?

[Hostile]

Isn't a fact that we have only won titles when a democratic president is in office? I might be wrong...

If so, maybe this is the year.

I hope this will NOT turn political.

1971, Richard Nixon. Republican.

Edit...1992 was also George Bush Sr. Clinton took over in 1993. He was in office when we won, but the season was a Bush year.

Just a factoid, no political intent.

Not you, someone else chiming in. If I thought yours was political I'd have simply removed it rather than comment. Some people just can't help themselves.

In case you doubt this the 25 year anniversary of the team by your math would have been 1985. Look it up, they wore the silver anniversary patches in 1984.

Unfortunately, they also put the logo on the midfield star.

We are 2-2 in Miami, but both wins are post Orange Bowl era. We are also 2-4 against them in Dallas.

I hate the Dolphins. I hate implications Shula was better than Landry. I hate the losing record against them. I hate the losing record in Super Bowls there. I hate that they took Jimmy Johnson even though he did not win it for them there. All of it.

Did you forget SB VI?

 

[jazzcat22]

One thing worries me about going to Miami for the Super Bowl. We have been 3 times. Super Bowl V, X, & XIII.

Those are the three we lost.

I thought of that as soon as I read that also. But this time we have Buehler!

That game was in New Orleans, not Miami.

Count with me. Each decade is 10 years . You can double check if you wish.

1960 to 1969 is 10 years.

1970 to 1979 is 10 more years, 20 total.

1980 to 1989 is 10 more years, 30 total.

1990 to 1999 is 10 more years, 40 total.

2000 to 2008 is 9 years, 49 total.

Therefore 2009 is 50 years. In case you doubt this the 25 year anniversary of the team by your math would have been 1985. Look it up, they wore the silver anniversary patches in 1984.

This is the 50th season for the Cowboys. They may not actually be 50 years old until January 28, 2010, but this is 50 years.

1960-1961 is one year even by math 1969-1960 = 9.

I guarantee they will celebrate 50 years next year. The birthday would be January 1960 so until 2010 it won't be a year.

I was born August 2, 1960 - making me 49, I celebrate fifty next year. Nothing begins at one year old, You must complete a year in order celebrate a year.

Are newborns considered one year old the day they are born?

Here is how to properly count the years:

1960-1961 = 1 year old, or one season in the books.
1961-1962 = 2
1962-1963 = 3
1963-1964 = 4
1964-1965 = 5
1965-1966 = 6
1966-1967 = 7
1967-1968 = 8
1968-1969 = 9
1969-1970 = 10 = equals a decade of life!!!

Think back - when did you celebrate becoming 10 years old, 20, etc?

Respectfully I understand you calling this the 50th season (not anniversary), this same logic came up for the year 2000 and when a millennium or a century is completed. I agree this season will be the 50th and is one reason there is a count-down of the top players on the official website. Lets hope the Cowboys can really celebrate the 50th with something outside of a number.

I was responding to the question "is this the 50th anniversary?" - it will not happen until next year.

 

[mwj473]

1960-1961 is one year not 1959-1960.

Argue all you want - I guarantee they will celebrate 50 years next year. The birthday would be January 1960 so until 2010 it won't be a year.

I was born August 2, 1960 - making me 49 not fifty until next year. Nothing begins at one year old, You must complete a year in order celebrate a year.

1968-1969 = 9
1969-1970 = 10 = equals a decade of life!!!

The original poster asked if this is the 50th SEASON of the Cowboys....this upcoming season wiil be its 50th. It will be celebrated this year.

No, I didn't. We played that game at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana.

You would not get away with drinking in this state by your calculations.

Wow. Let's try this another way. I can't believe I even need to do this actually.

No, I was making reference to your frustration over our history with the Dolphins.

Sure every Dolphins fan approaching 50 would trade their winning record over us for that priceless SB win.
As I'm sure you remember, Landry clearly out-coached Shula that day.

Now if he continues the belabor the point after this post, I'll drop dead laughing.

Seriously, I want even make it through the post.

Sorry about that sonnyboy. It went right over my head. You are of course, correct.

 

[sonnyboy]

Just trying to make you feel better my friend.

Tell you what, I wouldn't mind getting another SB win at their expense. Especially with this being our 49th and a half season anniversary and all.

 

[Hostile]

The following comment was added after my response.

I was responding to the question "is this the 50th anniversary?" - it will not happen until next year.

I am sorry to tell you that you are 100% incorrect. Here is a very simple way for you to prove this to yourself?

When did the Cowboys Silver Anniversary (meaning 25th season in the NFL) happen?

Per you it was 1985.

Per me it was 1984.

By all means look it up if you don't want to take my word for it. The answer is 1984. We played the 1984 season with the Silver Anniversary patches that bbgun displayed earlier in the thread.

They will unveil a 50th Anniversary Patch for this season, not for next season.

Actually, I kinda dig his "fuzzy math," because that means we're all a year younger.
